Nytt webbmagasin tillägnat virtuell konst

Australian Centre of Virtual Art (ACVA) startar upp ett till synes mycket seriöst webbmagasin om virtuell konst. Jag har valt att publicera ledaren oavkortat. Läs gärna den och klicka sedan på länken. Magasinet fungerar bäst om man laddar hem det som HTML-fil tycker jag, men det finns fler alternativ.

What is virtual art? Is there even such a thing? If so, what is it? How does it work? What are its implications for art more generally? How does it differ from non-virtual art? If not, why not? Is it even possible to pose such questions seriously, when virtuality has already thrown so many inherited verities into question? Committed to exploring such crucial questions, the Australian Centre of Virtual Art has established a new bi-annual, fully-refereed online journal. Entitled the Australian Journal of Virtual Art, each issue of the journal will feature an extended commissioned article by a world-recognised expert in the field. To encourage genuine critical debate, further responses to the article will be commissioned from well-known writers, to appear in the same issue. At any time, any member of the public will be able to add their own contribution to the debate. The future will be virtual – or it will not be!
